Not a notable person. --Radiant! 10:42, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. if he really was the first guy to use sports for advertising that's historically notable. Nateji77 14:17, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep "The co-founder of the pioneering sports marketing agency, West Nally" [1] Kappa 17:15, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable - Google shows up over 900 hiits but filtered results for marketing company only show less than 90 hits. Advertisment. Megan1967 01:57, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep and Expand. This man is very notable for his role in soccer world cups, athletics world cups, rugby world cup and Davis Cup. He brought the Three Tenors together for the 1990 soccer world cup. He has also promoted big names in music including Leonard Bernstein, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Madonna amongst others. See this CV prepared by a Financial Times CV for an indication of notability.1. I might expand this myself if I have time. Capitalistroadster 06:02, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but the article content isn't accurate, which may be a reason why it ended up here. Wyss 12:20, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Hard to find info on West Nally on the web since I think it folded quite a while back, but it was a very important UK sports promo company that pioneered many new ways of mounting, and obtaing sponsorship for, major sporting events. And Patrick_Nally was a founder, and important in his own right. Even without this, it is arguable that he would warrant an entry based on his more recent business activities.
